A Kiss From A Rose

Chapter 2: Dark Meetings Part One

By The Queen Of Randomness

Shippo brushed a few strands of hair away from the many cuts and bruises that adorned Kagome's forehead. Her face contracted in pain, as Shippo jumped onto her midsection. Kagome moaned in protest as his little clawed feet pushed down on a particularly sore spot on her abdomen. He leaned down until his cheek rested lightly above her chest; his pointed ear was lying right above her steadily beating heart.

"So she is going to be okay, right?" Shippo asked, his voice quivering with uncertainty. Liquid woe ran down his red cheeks, Shippo hurriedly tried to wipe them away, but he wasn't fast enough for Yo-ko's eyes or nose.

The silver haired savior nodded, "But, you should probably not lay on her for now," he inhaled lightly, "by her scent it seems she is pretty beat up. By the look of it, she has several broken ribs to add to her list of injuries."

Shippo made a move to get off Kagome's stomach, but froze when she began to toss her head in pain, salty rivers fell from her tightly closed lids, like a great water fall. Yo-ko continued to sniff.

"Your mother needs help kit and fast," Yo-ko's voice was deep and serious. He plucked Shippo up off of Kagome and gently placed him on his shoulder. Yo-ko began to stand, with Kagome still in his arms, to walk out of the clearing; or tried to at least.

"Wait! Where are we going? And…uh…what is your name?" Shippo inquired, one auburn eyebrow arched in question.

Yo-ko continued walking, but his amble quickly turned into a light sprint as Kagome continued to moan in pain. His silver hair flew behind them, like a river of sparkling white jewels.

"Yo-ko" was all he said and continued to run, almost flying at the pace his feet traveled at.

Shippo's brow scrunched together, as he bit his lip, assuming a position of hard thinking. `I know I have heard his name before but where…' suddenly a flash of memories came to life, in a flash of blazing colors and comforting emotions. `Father! Papa told me about him…he is the silver fox bandit Kitsune!'

Shippo released a squeal of excitement while springing from Yo-ko's shoulder to his head, carefully grabbing Yo-ko's silver locks to keep from falling of the speeding Kitsune. His orange tail stood at attention in his excitement. Shippo began to speak rapidly, combining syllables and squeals into one big sentence in a language anything but that of which they were speaking.

Yo-ko's ears flattened themselves against their silver safe haven, as Shippo continued to bounce and squeal in excitement. As he bounced he tugged on Yo-ko's hair, earning a bit of a yelp from the overwhelmed fox.

Shippo continued to ramble on about all he knew of the notorious bandit, ignoring Yo-ko's yelp of pain.

`Man this kit has a lot of energy. Well, he is only a kit; I better calm him down, before he wakes up the women with in incompetent rambles. I wonder what her name is anyways. Kami, this kit knows more about me than I do!'

He gently laid his hand on Shippo's bouncing head. Shippo's little fists continued to travel up and down in a steady pattern.

"You mean you're really the legendary silver fox bandit?" Shippo asked, slower this time as he slid off Yo-ko's head to his shoulder once again. Yo-ko nodded once again. Shippo stood on tip toes to look Yo-ko directly in the eyes. Gold met emerald. One set of eyes shinned with awe and astonishment, the other set, cold but if you studied their amber depths you could clearly see amusement.

"You're the Kitsune that can pick any lock, break any sealing spell, shatter any protection seal, and has stolen millions of the most rare and precious jewels, silks, gold trinkets, and tapestries in the world?"

Yo-ko grinned at Shippo, before turning to face forwards, towards where they were running. Trees and forest foliage continued to flash in an array of marbled colors.
